Drug Uses

Prilosec is used to treat various acid-related stomach and esophagus problems. If you suffer from persistent heartburn (and have tried to treat it and changed your diet) Prilosec may be right for you. Prilosec (Omeprazole) is used to treat various acid-related stomachs and / or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome). When using this medication to treat certain ulcers, it may be prescribed along with certain antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin).

How Taken

Prilosec is a delayed-release 20mg tablet, taken once a day (every 24 hours) for 14 days before eating. You should not take it for more than 14 days or repeat a 14-day course more often than every 4 months unless directed by a doctor. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet. This decreases how well Prilosec works in the body.

Digestive Diseases: Heartburn In Pregnancy More than one-half of all pregnant women report symptoms of severe heartburn, particularly during their second and third trimesters. Heartburn, also called acid indigestion, is an irritation or burning sensation of the esophagus caused by stomach contents that reflux (come up) from the stomach. Heartburn may occur during pregnancy because of changing hormone levels, which can affect the muscles of the digestive tract and affect how different foods are tolerated. Pregnancy hormones can cause the lower esophageal sphincter (the muscular valve between the stomach and esophagus) to relax, allowing stomach acids to splash back up into the esophagus. In addition, the enlarged uterus can crowd the abdomen, pushing stomach acids upward. How Can I Reduce Heartburn Symptoms Without Hurting my Baby? To reduce heartburn without hurting you baby, you should try the following: * Eat several small meals each day instead of three large ones. * Eat slowly. * Avoid fried, spicy or rich foods, or any foods that seem to cause relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and increase the risk of heartburn. * Drink less while eating. Drinking large amounts while eating may increase the risk of acid reflux and heartburn. * Don't lie down directly after eating. * Keep the head of your bed higher than the foot of your bed. * Ask your doctor about using medications such as Tums or Maalox, which are generally safe to use during pregnancy. You may find that liquid heartburn relievers are more effective in treating heartburn as they coat the esophagus. * Wear lose-fitting clothing. Tight-fitting clothes can increase the pressure on your stomach and abdomen. If your heartburn persists, see your doctor. He or she may prescribe medications that are safe to take during pregnancy. Heartburn usually disappears following childbirth.
